Is there a way i can change the content of a page, without refreshing it?
http://www.4qradio.com
this is my site, and i am using iframes. The page content resizes the iframe, and works fine in IE.
Not in firefox however.
I cant use a regular ?id= etc because that will refresh the whole page, i need it just to refresh the content.

Any ideas??

While I don't know exactly how, there is a way to do it in JavaScript, as well as flash.
Your best route however, would be just not to use frames, and use real pages.

If you want, you can create php files with just the header bit, one for the left side column, one for the right side column etc, and then include them in the page file.

the problem is i need only the content of the main sectoin to change.
There is a player that runs in the top when people are listening to the shows.
so if the whole page has to be refreshed, they have to start the show again.
I wanted to stay away from this.
The only way i know to refresh only the certain bit is iframes, but i use a line of code to make the iframe change to be the size of the content.
Firefox will not recognise this.

Why not create a hidden frameset (1 pixel high, for example) and play the show in that frame?

Thats why I was going to say:

Code:

<iframe src="http://www.google.com" width="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Insert the php url in the src field. If it doesn't show up, try using the full url: "http://" and the rest of the url from there.
